Like a more compact version of Seattle and San Francisco – there s even a cable car negotiating heritage neighbourhoods studded with colourful wooden houses – Wellington has been lauded by Lonely Planet as the coolest little capital in the world .
The city s downtown precinct is filled with great cafés, cool craft beer bars and innovative restaurants, all frequented by the city s working population of IT startups, moviemakers and politicians. Factor in a growing interest in local and sustainable ingredients, and it s reckoned Wellington has more cafés and restaurants per capita than New York City. Not bad for a city of just over 210,000 at the bottom of the world.
